Ingredients to Gather

Before you start mixing and measuring, make sure you have all the essential ingredients on hand. Here’s what you’ll need to create your aromatic masterpiece:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned, just be sure to drain them)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup milk

Instructions - Let the Baking Begin!

Now comes the fun part! Follow these simple steps and watch your kitchen transform into a heavenly aroma zone:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. You want your bread to slide out effortlessly!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together like they’re long-lost friends. They are now friends!
Fold in the mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, parsley, and tomatoes. These ingredients are going to bring the party to your bread!
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil and milk. Then, pour this delightful mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overdo it, or your loaf might get grumpy!
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Give it a little shake to settle in.
Pop it in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before you transfer it to a wire rack. Patience, my friend—this will be worth it!

Slice it up and enjoy your Italian Herb Tomato Bread warm, or let it cool and save it for later (if you can resist!). Either way, it’ll be the talk of the town—or at least the talk of your dinner table!
